About Zachery A.
Zachery A. Jones built a professional foundation in numbers before he went to law school. He earned a B.A. in Business Administration with an emphasis in accounting from the University of Washington in 2002 and followed that with an MPAcc in Professional Accounting (Taxation) from the same university in 2003. He later completed a J.D. at UCLA School of Law in 2009. The sequence of degrees frames a career that bridges accounting disciplines and legal practice.
His academic record suggests dual fluency: familiarity with technical tax concepts and formal legal training. That combination is evident in the trajectory of his career. After finishing law school, he entered legal practice in California. He is admitted to practice in that jurisdiction and has built his practice around matters that draw on both his accounting background and legal credentials.
Jones is associated with Fenwick & West LLP. At the firm he works on matters that require an understanding of corporate structures, taxation, and financial reporting. He handles transactions and advisory work where accounting detail matters to legal outcomes. His accounting training gives him an ability to interpret financial statements and tax consequences in transactional and compliance settings.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in approach and precise in analysis. He favors practical solutions and clear explanations. Those traits can be particularly useful in negotiations and in drafting documents where numbers and tax rules intersect with contractual obligations. He has experience collaborating with tax specialists and corporate counsel to align legal strategies with financial realities.
Outside of the transactional and advisory work, Jones keeps current on developments that affect tax and corporate practice. His background makes him comfortable discussing both statutory tax provisions and the financial metrics that drive corporate decisions. He balances the technical side of accounting with the interpretive work of lawyering.
He is based in California and practices at Fenwick & West LLP. His work centers on corporate and tax-related matters that draw on his training in accounting and law, and he continues to handle matters that require detailed financial and tax analysis in legal contexts.
